Happy birthday, Boss
The best part wasn’t necessarily at the dinner, but came earlier, when Lala and me gave him this painting my Mom did for his 80th – from all of the Kinsellas. I hope he finds a good spot for it on his wall!
Your Mom’s a talented painter. Does it depict Shawinigan?
Talent and clearly also a heart of gold.
It’s a nice painting.
Thumb’s up!
great gesture for sure…
1. What (well, where), exactly, does the painting depict?
2. How long did it take? Did your mother say? (Or is that too close to asking what it cost?)
She’s very prolific. Paints every day, and sells in small exhibitions, but she charges way less (in the opinion of her sons) than she should.
It’s a rural Quebec scene. JC loved it.
Excellent artist. Real talent in them there genes…………………
I really love it as well. A very real talent!
A PM respected by a wide variety of world leaders and one of which the country could be proud.
Actually, are any of your mother’s works available for viewing online?
Wow, you Mom has talent….is is true Canadiana, t a lovely gift for the man…..a great Canadian!
It’s a lovely painting. The photo is dreadful, however. Shoot me an email, and I’ll reply with a brighter edited version that does both the painting and Mr. Chretien justice. (Photoshop, Warren. It’s your friend, trust me.)
Where were you seated last night? I couldn’t see you amongst all the notorati.
The painting looks like the John Boynton’s backyard in Georgeville!
How are ya Warren!
That does look like a lovely painting. And it went to a truly great man.
Painting title? Hung out to dry? Liberals?
